Definitions
- the present invention relates to an alkaline accumulator with a negative zinc electrode, comprising a membrane separating two electrolytes of different volume and composition, in particular an ion exchange membrane.
- Ni-Zn accumulator can also refer to an Ag-Zn accumulator, the Ni being replaced by Ag, or to an Air-Zinc accumulator, etc.
- the most effective remedies therefore consist in reducing the solubility of zinc in alkaline solutions, either by reducing its basicity, or by incorporating into the active mass of the negative electrode additives such as CaO in order to form insoluble complexes with the ionized forms of zinc.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks in particular.
- the subject of the invention is an alkaline accumulator, comprising at least one positive electrode and one negative zinc electrode in contact with an electrolyte via at least one separator impregnated with electrolyte, clamped respectively against two bipolar screens maintained by a sealing frame.
- the positive electrode is in contact with a first electrolyte of volume and composition determined via at least one first separator, in that the negative electrode is in contact with a second electrolyte of different volume and composition of the first electrolyte via at least a second separator.
- the first and second electrolytes are separated by a membrane constituting a filter with respect to zincates and possibly aluminates, in particular an anionic conduction membrane, defining first and second compartments.
- the electrolyte in contact with the negative electrode is essentially contained in the porosity of the negative electrode and the second separator retaining a volume of electrolyte of between 2 and 3 cm per dm 2 of front surface. .
- the electrolyte in contact with the negative electrode consists for example of an aqueous solution of KOH of initial concentration between 4 and 8 M in which has been dissolved between 70 and 100 g of aluminum, or of concentration between 3 and 4 M.
- This KOH solution with a concentration between 3 and 4 M can also comprise a zinc complexing agent, for example a lignosulfonate or stanates in a concentration between 0.01 and 0.1 M.
- a zinc complexing agent for example a lignosulfonate or stanates in a concentration between 0.01 and 0.1 M.
- the positive electrode is an Ni or Ag electrode.
- the electrolyte in contact with the positive electrode is essentially contained in the porosity of the positive electrode and the first separator retaining a volume of electrolyte of between 3 and 8 cm per dm 2 of apparent surface.
- the electrolyte in contact with the positive electrode is for example constituted by a KOH solution with a concentration of between 4 and 8 M, and can also comprise 1 M of LiOH.
- the membrane has an anionic conduction given for example for at least 90% of the current passing through it by OH-anions.
- the membrane is provided, in a free part, with at least one device allowing the passage of the gases released by the electrodes between the first and second compartments.
- the accumulator comprises first and second reserves of 1 electrolyte respectively in the bottoms of the first and second compartments; the accumulator being in a vertical use position.
- the positive electrode can also be a porous gas electrode, supplied with oxygen or air.
- FIG. 1 a partial cross-section view of a module characteristic of a stack of bipolar electrodes of an accumulator according to the invention
- FIG. 3 a second embodiment of a gas passage means between two compartments of an accumulator according to the invention, respectively containing different electrolytes.
- An advantage of the present invention is to improve the behavior of the positive nickel electrode during its cycling.
- composition of the zinc electrode uses a formulation already well known.
- the active mass consists of an active material ZnO, of Ca (OH) 2 / of an additive limiting the self-discharge of the zinc or with the charge the evolution of hydrogen, such as CdO, Sn0 2 , Pt> 0 2 , pulp fibrilization binders (such as PTFE, abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene) and partial gelation (carboxymethylcellulose).
- an additive limiting the self-discharge of the zinc or with the charge the evolution of hydrogen, such as CdO, Sn0 2 , Pt> 0 2
- pulp fibrilization binders such as PTFE, abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene
- partial gelation carboxymethylcellulose
- the active mass is pasted on a collector of the nickel or copper foam type, beforehand galvanized or cadmium-plated or lead-sealed, approximately one third of the active mass being impregnated in this foam, the other two thirds being on the surface.
- the present invention uses two separate electrolytes, one in contact with the positive electrode, the other with the negative electrode; their separation being ensured by a membrane, in particular an ion exchange membrane.
- its volume can advantageously be small and more precisely slightly greater than the volume of electrolyte necessary for good wetting of all the porosity of the negative electrode.
- this volume can be increased by an additional reserve of electrolyte of 2 to 3 cm 3 per dm 2 of active surface, corresponding to the wetting of a fibrous separator, for example a separator sold under the registered trademark VILEDON FS 2119 by the company Cari FREUDENBERG. Its thickness after mounting (therefore compression) is of the order of 0.15 mm.
- the electrolyte reserve is obtained by stacking one or two layers of said separator.
- the concentration of zincates can become high for a very alkaline electrolyte such as a KOH solution of concentration 6 to 8 M.
- Another means according to the invention for reducing the solubility of zinc consists in using a less concentrated KOH solution, for example between 3 and 4 M without dissolving aluminates therein.
- a less concentrated KOH solution for example between 3 and 4 M without dissolving aluminates therein.
- a zinc complexing agent such as lignosulfonate of potassium.
- the zinc complexed by the above-mentioned compound is then in the form of a larger ion than the zincate ion, thereby reducing its passage through the anionic membrane.
- the present invention is not limited to an ion exchange membrane and can extend to other membranes, letting OH ⁇ pass, and constituting an effective filter vis-à-vis zincates and possibly aluminates.
- the electrolyte is made weak, it is never zero and, under these conditions, the transport of zincate ions in the electrolyte where the positive electrode is immersed should be avoided.
- the membrane must therefore prevent the passage of zinc anions and aluminates as much as possible; it is advantageous to use a membrane having an anionic conduction provided by the OH- anions for at least 90% of the current passing through it.
- the membrane is not asked, as is the case for all the embodiments hitherto published, to hinder the progression zinc dendrites, but essentially protect the positive nickel electrode.
- the electrolyte in contact with the positive electrode is essentially contained in the porosity of the positive electrode and one or more separators retaining a volume of electrolyte between 3 and 8 cm 3 per dm 2 of apparent surface.
- the electrolyte used is a KOH solution at a concentration between 4 and 8 M. It is also possible, as is very generally practiced, to use a solution of KOH comprising 1 M in LiOH.
- FIG. 1 illustrates, by way of nonlimiting example, a module 1 characteristic of a stack of bipolar electrodes 2 and 3 of an accumulator according to the invention, the detailed description and the characteristics of each component of which are given below. after.
- a positive electrode 4 is pressed against the internal face of the bipolar screen 5 of the first bipolar electrode 2.
- the electrode 4 is constituted by a nickel foam impassed by an active mass, the composition of which is: active material: Ni (OH) 2 spherical, of density 2, containing 3% Co and 6% Cd; - additive: CoO, nickel powder; PTFE binder (abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene). Its surface capacity is, in free electrolyte, 4 Ah / dm measured by discharge at the 0.2 C regime.
- the thickness is 1 mm.
- the volume of electrolyte impregnating it is 4.5 cm 3 / dm 2 .
- the current is collected by pressing electrode 4 on the bipolar screen 5.
- the bipolar screen 5 is held by its ends 6 and 7 at the frame 8 ensuring 1 * sealing of the module 1.
- separators 9i VILEDON FS 2119 impregnated with electrolyte.
- the electrolyte is a KOH solution with a concentration of 7.5 M.
- the apparent surface of the separators 9i is such that they overflow by 2 mm relative to the two vertical sides of the positive electrode 4. On the other hand, this overflow is 5 mm from the underside of the positive electrode.
- ion exchange membrane 10 sold under the registered trademark NEOSEPTA AMH by the company TOKUYAMA SODA, three of the sides (two vertical sides + one lower side) projecting relative to those of the 9i separators of such that, on a strip 5 mm wide, the membrane 10 is pressed on three of the abovementioned sides against the sealing frame 8.
- the space between the bipolar screen 5 and the membrane 10 defines a positive compartment il.
- a separator 12 VILEDON FS 2119 impregnated with electrolyte is a KOH solution of 8 M concentration in which 80 g of aluminum / dm 3 has been dissolved. Its dimensions are the same as those of the separators 9i arranged on the side of the positive electrode 4.
- a negative electrode 13 is pasted on cadmium-plated or leaded nickel or copper foam with an initial thickness of 2 mm.
- the face of the negative electrode 13, opposite to that in contact with the separator 12, is pressed on the bipolar screen 14 of the second bipolar electrode 3.
- the ends of the bipolar screen 14 are held by a second frame 15 ensuring the sealing of the module 1 and the pinching of the membrane 10 against the first frame 8.
- the space between the bipolar screen 14 and the membrane 10 defines a negative compartment 16.
- the active mass of the negative electrode 13 consists of: - Active material: ZnO 75%;
- - a binder comprising 10% of carboxymethylcellulose and 3% of PTFE.
- the electrode 13 is wetted by the electrolyte described above (8 M concentration KOH solution comprising in the dissolved state 80 g / dm 3 of aluminum).
- the apparent surface of the electrode is 1 dm 2 and has the same dimensions as the positive electrode 4. Its discharge at 0.2 C shows that the restored capacity is 6 Ah.
- the bipolar screens 5 and 14 respective to the bipolar electrodes 2 and 3 consist for example of a polymer made electronically conductive by a carbon charge.
- the screens 5 and 14 have a thickness of 0.2 mm. They are nickel-plated on their face in contact respectively with the positive electrode 4, and on their other face respectively in contact with the negative electrode 13, nickel-plated then cadmium plated.
- This arrangement allows reserves of electrolytes 17 and 18 respectively in the bottom of the positive and negative compartments 11 and 16.
- an ion exchange membrane 10 the sealing of which has been carried out around its entire circumference, does not unfortunately allows more passage of gases from one compartment to another.
- Another solution consists in creating in the framework of sealing channels allowing the passage of gases outside the membrane. Such a device is difficult to produce and weakens the sealing frames.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a first means 19 according to the invention, allowing the passage of gases while remedying the aforementioned drawbacks.
- This passage means 19 is also symbolically represented in FIG. 1.
- An orifice 20 is arranged in the ion-exchange membrane with a thickness of between 0.1 and 0.5 mm, and this in an area where it is not in contact with the separators 9i, 12 or electrodes 4, 13, soaked in electrolyte, that is to say in a marginal zone close to the sealing zone.
- the latter In order to avoid any risk of passage of the electrolyte through the orifice 20, the latter has a diameter between 1 and 5 mm and its walls will have a clearly hydrophobic characteristic.
- the membrane 10 is drilled right through a hole 21 of determined diameter to allow the assembly of a first PTFE sheath 22 force fitted into a second sheath 23.
- the inside diameter of the hole 21 drilled in the membrane 10 corresponds to the outside diameter of the second sheath 23 and the inside diameter of the first sheath 22 corresponds to the diameter of the orifice 20.
- the two sleeves 22 and 23 respectively have two flanges 24 and 25 which, after fitting the two sleeves 22 and 23, pinch the membrane 10.
- the thickness of the flanges 24 and 25 is less than 0.8 mm.
- the number of these passages 19 per element is a function of the capacity (Ah) of the element, therefore, inter alia, of its dimensions and of the regime applied during overloads (intensity and duration).
- grooves 26i, 27i are arranged on the internal faces of the screens bipolar 5, 14 and extend beyond the surface occupied by the ion exchange membrane 10.
- the screen 5 is grooved in two directions, for example perpendicular over its entire surface, excluding the marginal zones used for sealing by the frame.
- One end of the membrane 10 is not connected to the frame 8, 15 and is said to be free. This free end 28 faces the grooves 26i and 27i arranged respectively in the bipolar screens 5 and 14.
- An elastomer 29 is overmolded on the free end
- the elastomer 29 closes the first and second compartments 11 and 16 and defines an intermediate space 30 between the external sealing frame 8, 15 and the internal faces of the bipolar screens 5 and 14.
- Oxygen can therefore be transported via the intermediate space 30, delimited by the sealing frame 8, 15, the bipolar screens 5 and 14 grooves, from one compartment to the other 16.
- the bipolar screen 14, for its face in contact with the zinc electrode 13 only has grooves 27i in a zone 31 extending substantially between the frame 8, 15 and the zinc electrode 13.
- the grooves can extend in one or more directions, thus allowing the passage of gases from the intermediate zone 30 to the zinc electrode 13 via the preceding zone 31 or vice versa.
- the passage of the gases 19 is therefore defined by the grooves 26i and 27i and by the intermediate space 30.
